UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE CO-FOUNDERS
MATT WALSH AND IAN ROBERTS !
We at Radio Titans (www.radiotitans.com) have long been proud of our ability to get the biggest and best names in comedy to come in for interviews, and that was certainly the case for this classic episode in which two of the four legendary founders of the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) theatres and troupe sat in with us: Matt Walsh and Ian Roberts.
Funny and insightful, they gave us a really in-depth look at their opinions on comedy and how they've worked their magic. They were both super-supportive in the early days, with Ian even joining me as a live guest in a late-night talk-show demo I did at the IO West theatre and Matt having been a guest about five times over the years and teaching me the important lesson that I'm already successful just by having great guests come in.
Since this show, they've kept exploding, with Matt a cast member of "Veep" and countless other movies, and Ian one of the heads of the amazing "Key & Peele" series on Comedy Central. So tune in and get some real funny lessons in comedy brilliance!

WHO KNEW THE MAGIC WOULD BE OVER FOR THESE TWO? WELL, OTHER THAN EVERYONE...
I've been fascinated by Anthony Weiner for almost a decade now, ever since I saw one of his screaming fits on the floor of the US House of Representatives. He certainly knows how to draw attention, only it's a shame that his once-promising political career was derailed by his inability to stop sending out photos of his junk to female strangers coast to coast.
But it IS surprising that it took so long for his wife, Hillary Clinton's right-hand gal Huma Abedin, to say "enough's enough" and dump his ass. It seems that she tried to ignore all his bizarre indiscretions, taking a lesson from the life of Hillary and how she handles Bill. But with a tight race for president, Hillary couldn't handle the embarrassment and no doubt told Huma get rid of the guy.
Let's just hope DCFS takes a look into this and keeps Weiner from displaying his weiner next to his toddler son in any more photos.
If you want to see an incredibly entertaining documentary on the first two rounds of Weirdo Weiner's shenanigans and crocodile-tear apologies, check out the doc "Weiner." Here's it's IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5278596/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
And here's the story on Huma giving up:

"YOU'RE THE WORST" IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION...
AND HERE'S WHY IT MIGHT GET EVEN MORE DARING.
I'm not really sure HOW I first fell in love with "You're the Worst," which airs on FX, but I tuned in I think out of curiosity over what I heard about the fact that it was the darkest comedy anyone had attempted in ages. Sure enough, it's rife with bad behavior as it follows two horrible people as they hook up and slowly fall in love - while also dealing with the female lead's battle with serious depression.
That may sound too deep, but trust me, it's a great show and it debuts its third season tomorrow night. Find the first couple seasons and binge away, because you don't want to keep missing it.
